hin introns. b. STRs occur within introns; transposable elements occur within exons. c. STRs make up only a small percentage of a given genome while transposable elements often make up larger parts of a given genome. d.

Transposable elements and short tandem repeats are different because short tandem repeats make up only a small percentage of a given genome while transposable elements often make up larger parts of a genome. So the correct option is C.

<h3>What are transposable elements? </h3>

Transposable elements or transposons are a class of genetic elements. They can  “jump” from one location to another, in a genome.

Even though they are called “jumping genes,” they have an integrated site in a genome and are maintained there. Also, most of them are eventually inactivated and can not move any longer.

Whereas Short tandem repeats or STRs are short repeats of DNA. They are also known as microsatellites or simple sequence repeats. They have a repetitive unit of 1-6 bp and form a series of 100 nucleotide lengths.

Therefore the correct option C.

During cellular respiration what is the direct source of the energu used in the cells of consumers?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Consumers use chemical energy from the chemical bonds within organic molecules such as carbohydrates, lipids,  and amino acids.

Explanation:

<u>Heterotrophs are consumers</u>; they ingest or absorb organic matter (lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, etc.)  made by autotrophs or producers for their energy consumption. Autotrophs include plants, bacteria, and other photosynthesizing organisms, while heterotrophs include animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria.

Heterotrophs obtain energy from food through the process of cellular respiration. For instance, during aerobic respiration in mitochondria, they break down sugars in the form of glucose into carbon dioxide and water to obtain energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

aerobic respiration:      C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

                                      glucose+ oxygen →  carbon dioxide+ water+ energy
